Flow-mediated dilation and cardiovascular event prediction: does nitric oxide matter?
Endothelial dysfunction is an early atherosclerotic event that precedes clinical symptoms and may also render established plaque vulnerable to rupture. Noninvasive assessment of endothelial function is commonly undertaken using the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) technique. Some studies indicate that FMD possesses independent prognostic value to predict future cardiovascular events that may exceed...
متن کاملFlow-mediated dilation and cardiovascular disease.
A CORNERSTONE OF THE “exercise is medicine” movement is that regular exercise has widespread health benefits. Compared with the number of studies that have characterized health outcomes, relatively few address the mechanisms for the health outcomes. The study by Birk et al. (1) in the Journal of Applied Physiology presents evidence for the role of increased blood flow as the mechanism for enhan...
متن کاملAerobic Capacity and Postprandial Flow Mediated Dilation
The consumption of a high-fat meal induces transient vascular dysfunction. Aerobic exercise enhances vascular function in healthy individuals. Our purpose was to determine if different levels of aerobic capacity impact vascular function, as measured by flow mediated dilation, following a high-fat meal. Flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery was determined before, two- and four-hours post...
متن کاملShear stress and flow-mediated dilation.
In this edition of Hypertension, the Framingham Heart Study group reports on the relationship between diastolic shear stress and brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) in 2045 participants of the Framingham Offspring group.1 Clinical correlates and heritability of FMD in the participants have been published previously.2 The new report1 challenges conventional concepts on endothelial funct...
متن کاملBrachial flow-mediated dilation predicts incident cardiovascular events in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
BACKGROUND The relationship between impaired brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and subsequent clinical cardiovascular events is not well established, especially in older adults whose FMD is often diminished. We assessed the hypothesis that FMD predicts incident cardiovascular events in a population-based cohort of older adults. METHODS AND RESULTS FMD was measured at the 1997 to 1998 Card...
